Events/Information Stands/Displays etc

We welcome the opportunity to attend Canine Events, Dog Shows, Fetes and Fairs, Agricultural and Specialist Shows to improve awareness of our breed and provide fundraising activities to support the work of SHWA(UK). This happens primarily through the summer months. Events are detailed below - come along and bring the whole family!

Above - some of the SHWA Events Crew

We can add the attraction of Hug-A-Husky, Breed Information and Advice, Husky Rides (dependent upon temperature) and/or a short Arena Display/Talk about the breed. See photos above for examples of our displays etc.

Our very popular Hug-A-Husky/Breed Information event, would use approximately 6 dogs, 2 or 3 in rotation. Space would be required for both the ‘hugging’ but importantly a quiet area for the dogs to rest. If space is at a premium, easy access to our vans would be required to provide a quiet space for the dogs. We provide all our own crates and equipment for the dogs.

We can also offer a narrated demonstration of Husky activities using a dry-land rig and/or dog scooter, or even Kiddie's rides using a specially adapted cart for safety (depending upon weather conditions).

We can also offer Breed Seminars (not conformation/breed standard) illustrating what it is like living with the breed by experienced owners together with Powerpoint Presentation. (See HERE for details)
